"I paint because I do not know how not to!" Painting is both an obsession and vocation
Connections
I am convinced there is a connection between painter and landscape that is emotionally intimate
My Inspiration
Growing up within the surrounds of the Clutha and now the Manawatu rivers mean water described gorges and plains are so much a part of who I am. Overwhelming light, skies, seasons, and landforms allow me enormous compositional scope.
